How to fix the issue?
If you are encountering the error code 90 then we have explained a few ways that might help you resolve the error.
Power cycle the camera
Sometimes, a simple power cycle can resolve connectivity issues. To do this, unplug the Wyze camera from the power source, wait for about 10 seconds, and then plug it back in. Allow the camera a few moments to reboot and establish a fresh connection.
Check the internet connection
It is possible that the error code 90 is occurring because it is not getting a stable connection. Check your internet connection and restart your modem or router to reset the connection, which might help you get a stable connection by resolving any issues with the router.
Repair the camera with the Wyze app
The camera isn’t paired properly with the Wyze app and that is why causing the error code 90. Unpair and pair the camera with the app again.

Reinstall the app
Some files of the app might have gotten corrupted or missing for some reason, which might be the reason for the occurrence of error code 90. Uninstall the Wyze app completely, then reinstall it and check whether the error is gone or not.
Check the SD card
Your SD card is not properly placed in the camera or it is corrupted which is causing the error code 90. Remove the SD card and check whether it is functioning properly and then place it again in the camera properly.
Update the Firmware
Wyze consistently focuses on updating the firmware of its Wyze cameras to enhance their performance. However, with each software package, there is also a possibility for new bugs. To flash an older firmware follow the steps below.

- Copy the demo.bin file to the SD card.
- Insert the SD card in the camera and then turn it on.
- Press and hold the reset/select button until the light turns purple.
- After releasing the button, leave it for three to five minutes to start the flashing process.
